I18N Tests: UTF-8 signature 2

   Results

This test checks how the UTF-8 signature (or Byte Order Mark) in an XHTML 1.0 file served as text/html is handled by a user agent in text included by the object element. In some user agents (typically older versions), the presence of the signature at the beginning of a file causes a blank line to appear at the top of the page, often with the additional display of spurious characters.

Note that tests on this page are only relevant if the user agent supports the object element.

1 File with signature, served as utf-8

Objective: Does the presence of a utf-8 signature produce unwanted display effects?

Description: The object tag displays a file saved in UTF-8 with a signature.

Check that the text appears at the top of the box, with no extraneous characters before the 'N'.

2 Control: file without signature, served as utf-8

Objective: Ensure that nothing else is producing unexpected behaviour in test 1.

Description: The object tag displays a file saved in UTF-8 without a signature.

Check that the text appears at the top of the box, with no extraneous characters before the 'N'.
